I was in Dubai a week ago and there was a freak rainstorm that started just as we arrived at my uncle's house from the airport. The rain lasted for a day and night and caused at least 500 accidents in one day, on the major roads as the driving standards there are very poor and didnt adjust their speeds accordingly.

People in dubai just cannot handle rain... almost like they dont think physics applies.. rain = bad traction duhh

We've had the road hump, i'm just waiting for the road ditch designed to slow you down, oh wait one second we already have those.... its called the **** poor rutted conditions of our roads!

I know it quite funny but why are people going over it so fast surely they know your wreck your car :confused:

And i know they just put speed hump in but surely people know about it or can see it :eek:

Cause they installed it without telling anyone or putting signs up and come night they can be quite hard to spot!

lol not at all, upon reading it back, it does come accross as quite aggressive, oh well, it will blend in with all of fox's posts then

Probably a new spectator sport tbh, they have Street drifting / Head on 4x4 Smashing, Lambo jumping seems like a logical progression.

I'd put a pound on that being some kind of new pass time for the bored Dubinians. Doesn't the same Merc go back for a second jump?

I doubt he had any idea the outcome was going to be quite that damaging though

Poor Lambo

You would think after a few accidents the police would close the road and put some signs up. :rolleyes:

I've done similar, but in an Alfa 147, not a Gallardo

Firestar_3x · 7 Mar 2006 at 17:09

What was the outcome?

kemistry · 7 Mar 2006 at 17:49

my mate did that in a metro

very dangerous though!

isn't this old news?
looks identical to the same speed bump Clarkson went over in a Range Rover when filming clarkson's Motorworld - Dubai Episode...and that's about 10 years old IIRC.

but the bump may be??

Firestar_3x · 7 Mar 2006 at 19:06

If the bump was 10 years old do you think that many cars would be launching off it 10 years later on?
